Note: April 8th 2022. This may no longer work. It worked at the time of writing, but my printers keep coming up again now.

Linux support for printers straight after an install is excellent, even on a FOSS-only distro like Fedora. To add your network connected printer, I’d recommend finding instructions from the printer manufacturer but failing that (or if you don’t want to download their driver package), you can probably get it working without downloading a single driver.
